So, trying to do a seal on a MOS plate for a coworker who is leaving… but been having issues. I looked at another thread where the settings were given to do metal, which the text works great. But the logo (DHS emblem) comes out rough. Only has one screen that gives a few settings… which I tried to make it more crisp… but here is the result.  Unsure if it is due to being so small, or which I’m leaning towards… being too powerful. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. |

Ignore the ai voice I used but this applies to all fiber lasers basically though mine is 100w. It will get you dialed in. LightBurn Multi-Layer Deep Engrave Tutorial |

If so, I'd think about lasing the entire logo area down just enough to make it smooth, THEN do your regular engraving.
